Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Bois d'Encens EDP
Bois d'Encens is a divisive frankincense bomb - genuinely profound for some, a short-lived disappointment for others. If you crave that dry, liturgical church vibe, this is your spiritual journey in a bottle, but its hit-or-miss performance is a real sticking point.
Statement
Our Verdict - Polo Supreme Oud EDP
This one's a divisive oud, with some calling it a masterpiece of smooth, wearable oud for beginners and others finding it disappointingly weak or even vile. If you're into an easy-going Western oud, you might just love it.

Season and Occasion Fit

Bois d'Encens

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Formal
Also Works:
Office Date

Despite its often intimate sillage, the sophisticated and serious nature of this woody-incense scent makes it better suited for formal events or date nights where its unique character can be appreciated. It's too profound for casual wear and the mixed performance means it might not always last a full workday.
